Worried by the crisis hitting the ongoing national conference, President Goodluck Jonathan Friday called on the delegates to honour one of their colleagues, a retired Assistant Inspector-General of Police, late Hamma Misau by patriotically working for the unity and progress of Nigeria.
He made the remark in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati.
Joining the delegates in mourning Hamma Misau, the President noted that the deceased patriotically served Nigeria, his state and community throughout his 34 years of distinguished service in the Nigeria Police Force.
It said: “And even in retirement, he has continued to be actively engaged with efforts to move the nation forward as shown by his participation in the National Conference.”
“As he is laid to rest in his home state today, President Jonathan urges all delegates to the National Conference to resolve to honour his memory by rededicating themselves to working conscientiously towards further strengthening national unity, and promoting peace, security, political stability and faster development in the country.”
He commiserated with members of the Association of Retired Police Officers on the deceased passing away on Thursday in Abuja, who is one of its representatives at the ongoing National Conference.
Jonathan also extended sincere condolences to Alhaji Hamma Misau’s family, the government and people of Bauchi State, and the Chairman of the National Conference, Justice Idris Kutigi (rtd.) and all of the deceased’s co-delegates.
The President prays that Almighty Allah will receive Hamma Misau’s soul and grant him eternal rest in Paradise. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

The national conference is a waste of time. Nigeria should inaugurate a conference solely to address corruption in the country. The conferees which will exclude political office holders and their cohorts will enact laws aimed at curbing corruption, then require the corrupt national assembly to incorporate such into the constitution. Corruption has killed NIGERIA, let's stop pretending and let's do something about it other than creating EFCC which is an impotent assembly led by former corrupt police officers.
